In this eye-opening conversation with hiring expert Corey Harlock from Key Hire, we dive into why so many small businesses struggle with talent acquisition and what you can actually do about it.

The brutal truth? Most business owners make three critical hiring mistakes:

  • Unclear role definition (what does success actually look like?)
  • No defined hiring process (winging it doesn't work)
  • Hiring for current revenue instead of future growth (playing small)

Corey reveals why the "right people for the right duration" mindset beats trying to retain everyone forever. His 7 Candidate Driver Analysis tool helps businesses make smarter job offers that actually land top talent—even in this competitive market.

We explore the uncomfortable reality that business growth often means outgrowing loyal employees. When deadlines get missed and arguments become common, it's time for tough decisions: mentor them up, move them sideways, or help them move on.

The game-changer? Bringing in experienced professionals redefines what good leadership looks like, often exposing gaps in your current team. Yes, it takes humility to hire people better than yourself, but that's exactly how you scale.

Key Hire specializes in helping businesses ($5-25M revenue) who feel overwhelmed with their talent strategy. Their 90% success rate comes from truly understanding a client's culture before recruiting—something traditional agencies rarely accomplish.

Ready to double down on certainty during uncertain times? Building proper hiring structures might be exactly what your business needs right now.
